Los Cocorocos Musical Compilation
"LOS COCOROCOS" is born from the idea to relive the famed 70�s clubs that thrived nightly throughout the Caribbean specifically in San Juan, Puerto Rico. There, loyal fans met their musical icons greeting the morning-after till the wee hours of the day with continuous dancing and singing.
"LOS COCOROCOS" is the ideal CD of the true salsa fan � the type who idolizes the classic sounds yet allows it to easily weave and breed new sounds such as urban reggaeton as it happily cohabitates with a younger, more hip crowd. It�s a release that will pass from a hit...to a sure classic, to a collector�s most ambitious masterpiece. It�s concept; the content and the exponents only happen because of the dire need to participate in this historical gathering. It�s a production that must be danced, felt and inspire as it unites generations with generations; grandparents, siblings and grandkids.
"To say COCOROCO �is to justify that my grandfather was a fan of Daniel Santos, Tito Lara, Bobby Capo and Beny More; It�s to say that he fell in love with my grandmother on a magical night as both of them closely danced...very "apanchangao" a exquisite bolero by Tito Rodriguez...".
- Gallego -

INTRODUCCION � Written by Gallego

-"To say COCOROCO, is to say that Hector Lavoe and Willy Colon were present in my mom�s graduation and that the Americans had landed in the moon but had still not mastered how to dance salsa �
-"To say COCOROCO - "is to bow to "guasibiri, "tribili, "mamo amalga"..." -
-"To say COCOROCO is to say that rap and Reggaeton are the continuation of the endless need to communicate what is happening in the streets and how our lives are influenced by the music we hear...it�s to say that the "old" salsa is first blood cousin to rap and reggaeton" �
